Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Bub Carrington, Tristan Vukcevic shine for Wizards - NBC Sports

The Washington Wizards are prioritizing development, giving ample playing time to their younger roster, which has started to yield results for fantasy managers. Recently, Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson both scored 19 points against the Sacramento Kings, showcasing their scoring capabilities. Carrington has been particularly impressive, nearly breaking into the top 75 fantasy players over the last week, while Tristan Vukcevic provided a solid contribution with 17 points and 8 rebounds. As the Wizards continue to rely on youth, players like Justin Champagnie also become relevant in fantasy discussions.

Meanwhile, Tari Eason took advantage of Fred VanVleet's absence for the Houston Rockets, putting up a notable line in a blowout win. Isaiah Collier of the Utah Jazz also had a standout game despite a loss, demonstrating his potential as he maintains a starting role. Jose Alvarado's value has risen with CJ McCollum sidelined, while Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson also provided solid numbers for their teams. As the season draws to a close, these players are shaping up to be key contributors for fantasy teams in need of late-season boosts.
